Moving Soon

I can't believe it is the end of April, time is going by so fast!!  This week we have to organise the storage compartment and take off the skirting on the fifth wheel.  We are going to be moving to Bow Rivers Edge Campground in Cochrane on May 1.  We will be checking in then heading to BC to our place in Anglemont.  We have some repairs to do and switch out our winter gear for summer gear.  I am excited to go, it is like a mini holiday!:)  I have also been planning our 35th Anniversary Vow Renewal Party!  I have slowly been purchasing things I need.  Spreading the purchases over a couple months is better than buying everything we need at once.  I am looking forward to that also, it is at the beginning of June.  We will be at the farm for the week so we can prepare and decorate!  Our friends Leon and Cindy will be their also, helping us.  My brother Herman is going to be at the farm too, and will be helping us get things together.  There will be mowing, decorating, the making of an arch, etc.  It will be a busy but fun time!  Drinks will be consumed around the fire pit in the evening with fun and laughter!!

injury update

Well, I went to my doctor for a follow up on my arm.  He checked the x-ray Banff Hospital took and said I don't have a fracture.  He checked my arm, and said it checked out good.  He told me that the people reading the x-rays are not radiologists and they often get the reading wrong.  Well that was the case in my x-ray.  I was happy to hear that it was not fractured.  I was babying my arm so as not to injure it worse.  It still hurts but I am able to do more with it now.  Time will heal it.  I just have to be careful with it.

Out of commission for awhile!

Well, I went skiing with my daughter Alyssa on Saturday to Lake Louise.  On the first run of the day I fell hard on my arm.  I got assessed at the first aid station, and was told to go to the hospital for x-rays.  They got a truck and took Alyssa and I down the hill to her truck.  We then drove to Banff Mineral Springs Hospital.  They got me in and x-rayed my arm.  I have a small hairline fracture on my upper arm.  Now I have to take it easy and not bump or bang it on anything.  The day was not a whole bust.  We did go for dinner in Banff, and at least had a day in the mountains.  It was a beautiful day too, just too bad we could not have skied the whole day!!

Update

The winter has been very mild so far!  I am very thankful for that, also not a lot of snow!  I know it is February and it can get cold but the long range forecast is for mild weather:)  We are still enjoying living in our fifth wheel, it is warm and cozy, and very much home!  I can't believe we are into February!  May 1st we will be moving back to Bow Rivers Edge RV Park in Cochrane.  I am looking forward to that.  Doug will be 2 min. from work and we will be close to all the amenities.  Also, I like BRE Rv Park better than where we are now.  We will have a spot backing onto a green space and the river!  Much prettier to look at than a bunch of stored RV's!!
We decided we will check in at BRE then head to BC.  Our deck railing broke off from all the snow they had, and our sign post was knocked over by the snow plow.  We were notified of that by the person doing house checks for us.  We are going to take our Fifth Wheel and stay at Ross Creek Store RV Park which is 5 min. from our house.  We don't have much at the house and I would have to do grocery shopping.  Our Fifth Wheel is fully stocked and much more convenient!!  I really hope our house will sell this year, then we can start our RV Travels!!!!

Christmas!!

We had a terrific Christmas!  Steve, Alyssa & the girls came for Christmas Eve dinner.  We had a very nice evening.  Christmas day we went to Alyssa's house, we made a delicious dinner and opened presents with Paige & Katie!  Boxing day we went to Steven and Nancy's.  We opened presents with Jaiden and Tyler, lots of excitement!  Alyssa and the girls joined us also.  We had a lovely Christmas!!

All ready for Christmas!

Well, the tree is up, the shopping is done!  All I have left to do is the baking, which I will do next week!  So far we have really enjoyed our new Fifth Wheel!  Lots of room, lots of storage!  The weather has been so great!!  Here is a picture of our home decorated for Christmas!

All Snug and Cozy!

Well, we finally got our skirting on Thursday!  We were so thankful for that, because we had our water lines freeze twice!!  Boy, does it ever make a difference with the skirting!!:)  We also got a small ceramic heater to put in the storage compartment.  We turn that on when it gets real cold at night.  It works like a charm!  We are now all snug and cozy for the coming winter.
We made another trip back to BC this weekend to pick up some more things.  I needed some more clothes (fancy for Christmas & New Years!), and I wanted to get my sewing machine and some other things.  Doug needed a few things from the garage, the snow shovel being one of them.  We will definitely be needing that this winter!!  The weather was great and the road conditions were perfect for the trip out and back.  Hopefully we have everything we need from the house because these quick overnight trips back are tiring!!
This week the weather is suppose to be good, not cold!!
